September Book Club Discussion

‘Juice’ by Tim Winton

The dust jacket comments on Tim Winton’s ‘Juice’ include “An Instant Classic”, “Cyclonic”, and “A Masterpiece.” What do you think about this book?

Please join the book club conversation and share your thoughts this coming Tuesday 16th September from 4pm, when Peter Trinder will be leading our discussion. 

I would also be interested in any thoughts people may have about dust jacket comments, which have become pervasive in the publishing industry since the 1920's. Apparently most dust jackets were plain before then. In their present form do they provide a useful service for potential readers, or are they merely ‘condensed advertorials?’ 

I look forward to hearing your ideas,

Best ,

Ross
